Leveraging the electronic health record to improve quality and safety in rheumatology.

Abstract

During the last two decades, improving the quality and safety of healthcare has become a focus in rheumatology. Widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) and the availability of digital data have the potential to drive quality improvement, improve patient outcomes, and prevent adverse events. In the coming years, developing and leveraging tools within the EHR will be the key to making the next big strides in improving the health of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, including building EHR infrastructure to capture patient outcomes and developing automated methods to retrieve information from free text of clinical notes.
